Oh c'mon she wouldn't lie to me about that....would she?
I think it's closer to Medicine Bow peak to the north but same forecast.

It's not that user friendly but it helps you get a good idea of which areas have the deepest snow. I don't look at it mid winter but early & late season it's good for figuring out where to go.

Rode the snowies today. 8" of new. Snow is real good in the trees on the north side

Did you ride out of the Centennial side? Did you find any dirt on the roads?
I rode from the centennial side. I went around the east side of the peaks pretty much followed o trail. It was really rocky until I got down into the trees on the north east side. Some of the roads only had 4" on them in spots. We dug down to the dirt in the trees and there was about 38". Still had to be careful.
Planning on going up Sunday 11/24. Has anybody been down T trail around French Creek? The SnoTel is showing 34"
would it be worth heading there for thanksgiving weekend?
Not from South Dakota. Only around 30" in most places. Togwotee or Wolf Creek CO are where I'd go if I was taking a road trip.

We're still plannig on heading out Sunday. ..snow probably could be better but should beat working.

It's a ways south of Denver, I think this is the same place:

No problem....you might look at splitting the difference and go to Rabbit Ears, CO or Buffalo Pass. Best place to stay from what I understand is Walden or Steamboat springs.
